Due to changes in draw code particles from old files that may have had a
default draw size of 0 will not be visible. Old draw code would check
for this and adjust the size, however the unit for draw size has changed
from pixels to BU, and it no longer makes sense to have such checks.
This patch is to ensure particles from such files remain visible.
It seems to be useful still in cases where the particle are distributed in
a particular order or pattern, to colorize them along with that. This isn't
really well defined, but might as well avoid breaking backwards compatibility
for now.
This removes the need of custom attribs for instancing.
Instancing works fully with dynamic batches & Gwn_VertFormat now.
This is in prevision of the VAO manager patch.
This manager allows to distribute existing batches for instancing
attributes. This reduce the number of batches creation.
Querying a batch is done with a vertex format. This format should
be static so that it's pointer never changes (because we are using
this pointer as identifier [we don't want to check the full format
that would be too slow]).
This might make the original Instance Data manager useless but it's currently used by DRW_object_engine_data_ensure().
Theses batches keeps their memory chuck allocated after transfer to be reused and updated very often.
NOTE: This commit break instancing in DRW. (it's fixed in the next commit)
Now that the new 3D viewport draws to a multisample offscreen buffer, there is
no good reason anymore to create an entire multisample window and pay the
performance/memory cost for other regions that don't need it.
GL_MULTISAMPLE now only gets enabled for offscreen buffers, so we don't need
to check for it throughout the UI code anymore.

This is like the only way to add variety to hair which is created
using simple children. Used here for the hair.
Maybe not ideal, but the time will show.
This can be very slow if it contains a big texture, and it's not
necessarily setup in a useful way anyway, and materials can be used
in multiple scenes.
